Warren's Rise and Fall

As soon as they stepped into Dumen, they were shocked by the breath of life that hit them in the face.

Inside the gate, the scenery is picturesque, forming a sharp contrast with the stone statue hall before. The green trees are shady, the flowers and plants are lush, as if it is a paradise. Wang Lunwo couldn't help but think of Lan Xing's "Peach Blossom Spring", feeling that this is really a bright future. However, Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er were not as intoxicated by the beautiful scenery as Wang Lunwo. They knew that the place of eternal sleep was originally the place where the great passed away. Such a lively scene was really abnormal, and they were full of vigilance. Influenced by them, Wang Lunwo also put away his previous relaxed mind and became cautious.

The three of them walked forward cautiously, keeping an eye on the surroundings. After walking for a while, they found that there seemed to be no danger here. Wang Lunwo was secretly wondering, could it be that Brother Changsun and Sima Yan'er's guess was wrong? Just then, they heard a slight sound of footsteps. The three of them immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a figure walked out of the woods. Wang Lunwo looked closely and found that it was an old man. The old man was wearing a long robe, with white hair and a look of deep wisdom. His appearance made the three people more alert. Wang Lunwo stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Senior, is there any opportunity here?" The old man smiled and said: "Opportunities, of course. But it depends on whether you have this fate."

After saying that, the old man turned and walked in one direction. Wang Lunwo and the other two looked at each other and decided to follow him. They followed the old man for a while and came to a cave. The old man stopped and pointed at the cave and said, "There are opportunities you want in here, but there are also dangers. You decide whether to go in."

Wang Lunwo looked at the cave, hesitant. Changsun Mingzhi said, "Brother, since we are here, let's go in and take a look. Maybe we can find an opportunity." Sima Yan'er also nodded in agreement. So the three of them mustered their courage and walked into the cave.

The cave was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. A beam of light guided them forward like a beacon. They followed the light and found a stone platform. On the stone platform was a chessboard. Wang Lunwo didn't recognize it, but Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er recognized it at a glance. It was the beast chess that was popular in this world.

Changsun Mingzhi walked forward and saw the words next to it. "Opportunity lies in this chess piece. First observe the chess piece, then make the move." Changsun Mingzhi sat down and began to observe carefully. This was obviously an endgame. The red side was obviously in a stalemate. One of its cavalry and elephant soldiers had been eaten, plus the remaining two soldiers and the king, a total of five chess pieces, while the black side had two cavalry, one elephant soldier, one queen, two soldiers and a king, a total of seven chess pieces.

Sima Yan'er also observed the chessboard and said, "Brother Changsun, since the opportunity lies on this chessboard, why don't we play a game of chess with this endgame?" Wang Lunwo didn't know how to play this chess game, so he just watched the two of them show off their affection. He complained in his heart that the two of them could show off their affection so freely in this place, which was really unique.

Sima Yan'er saw that Wang Lunwo seemed unhappy beside her, but she acted like a spoiled child, "Brother Changsun, Yan'er's seven chess pieces are taking advantage of you." Changsun Mingzhi seemed to have a high resistance to love, "It doesn't matter, since the opportunity lies in this chess, let's just play chess."

Wang Lunwo noticed Sima Yaner's shyness for the first time, and wanted to complain again, you are really Aristotle's sister Jenny Ma. Changsun Mingzhi did not pay too much attention to Wang Lunwo in this regard, and played beast chess with Sima Yaner. Sima Yaner was immersed in the double happiness of chess and love at this time, and didn't care about Wang Lunwo next to him.

Wang Lunwo had no choice but to go to the side to cool off, but he was not idle. He was thinking about this abnormal scene. After all, this is a place of eternal sleep. It should be dead, but it seems to be full of life here, which is very contradictory. And the first hall before, there are 24 stone statues of soldiers plus a stone statue of a general. These are all life-and-death matters. Why does it seem to be a place of leisure, entertainment, and health vacation here? Strange, very strange.

Wang Lunwo's thoughts kept flying, and he recalled the experiences along the way. The three of them continued to explore in this mysterious place of eternal sleep, and every choice was full of risks and opportunities. From the moment they stepped into Dumen, they seemed to have entered a whole new world. Everything here was different from what they had experienced before, full of unknowns and mysteries.

Wang Lunwo continued to think about the reasons behind all this. He thought of those ancient legends and mysterious powers. The place of eternal rest is where the powerful people passed away. There must be many unknown secrets hidden here. And the strange phenomena they are encountering now may be part of these secrets. He began to wonder where the vitality here comes from? Is it because of some mysterious power that maintains the ecological balance here, or is there another reason?

At the same time, the chess game between Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er was also going on intensely. Changsun Mingzhi was calm and composed, and every move was carefully considered. Sima Yan'er sometimes showed a playful smile, and sometimes fell into deep thought.

In the game, Changsun Mingzhi fully demonstrated his wisdom and strategy. He cleverly used the chess pieces in his hand and gradually reversed the situation. Although Sima Yan'er had an advantage at the beginning, she began to struggle under Changsun Mingzhi's counterattack. However, she did not give up, but continued to work hard to find opportunities.

While Wang Lunwo was thinking hard, the winner had already been decided. Needless to say, it must be Sima Yan'er who let him win. "Brother Changsun, you are so amazing. You actually beat me with only five chess pieces when I had seven." Sima Yan'er would not miss this opportunity to flatter him, because she knew that Changsun Mingzhi had always been aloof, and that he had been in a low mood due to his hidden illness, and was more like an iceberg. This time, after losing to him in the field of chess wisdom, which he was good at, giving him a rainbow fart was not only appropriate, but also quite appropriate.

Zhang Sunmingzhi smiled shyly, "Thank you, Miss Yan'er." At this moment, a soul appeared from the chessboard. "You two don't sound like Taoist couples, but why are you talking so clingy? Even an old man like me can't stand it."

"Chess Soul, it's Chess Soul, Brother Changsun, you must quickly let him recognize his master." Sima Yan'er's voice suddenly rose eight octaves. "Girl, you don't have to think so much about your lover. My mission is to recognize the winner of the game as my master. Although you may have held back before, I have been trapped here for so many years and have long wanted to get out."

After hearing this, Chang Sun Mingzhi felt that this chess soul was not simple. Sure enough, the next words of the chess soul confirmed his guess. "Young man, you only saw the surface. Why don't you take a look now?" The rectangular chessboard turned into a square, and the straight line of the soldiers on the chessboard also became curved. The chessboard was still changing slowly. Finally, it turned into a Tai Chi pattern with yin and yang in the middle, and four monster-like beasts on each side.

"This is..." Changsun Mingzhi, who has always been well-informed, did not know what it was for a moment. "Well, kid, you are lucky, this is a two-element four-element array from tens of thousands of years ago, whether it is used to trap or kill the enemy, it is very effective." Qihun looked at Changsun Mingzhi's confused eyes, afraid that he did not know the value of it, and quickly supplemented it.

"This is the Two-Yin-Four-Elephants Array!" Sima Yan'er, who had just calmed down, raised her voice by an octave. Wang Lunwo was also secretly happy for Changsun Mingzhi. Changsun had just recovered and now had the help of a treasure. I'm afraid he would definitely catch up with his sister Changsun Mingyue in the future. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Canhun what the Two-Yin-Four-Elephants Array was.

The remnant soul naturally told everything he knew, "The Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array Plate is derived from the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Formation. It is said that a peerless master with extraordinary attainments in the art of formation and high cultivation specially made a smaller version of the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Formation for his Taoist partner, and then installed it in the array plate. From then on, this array plate was called the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Array Plate. Don't underestimate this smaller version. Although its power is less than one-tenth of the Yin-Yang Four Symbols Formation, it is no problem to deal with the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators outside."

“Senior, is this formation really so powerful?!” Wang Lunwo couldn’t believe it.

"That's impossible. Back then, that great man had spent a lot of effort to gather the descendants of the four sacred beasts, and then created the Liang Yi Four Symbols formation. Its power was comparable to destroying the heavens and the earth. The Liang Yi Four Symbols formation only captured the souls of four demon beasts in the Spirit Severing Realm and imprisoned them within the formation. Naturally, its power was greatly reduced, but it should be no problem to deal with cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm."

Wang Lunwo was amazed when he heard this, and even felt a little jealous in his heart, but of course it was only a little. This eldest grandson brother was so lucky. He had just recovered from his hidden disease and had a beautiful and wealthy woman like Sima Yan'er to accompany him. Now he had such a treasure. He was almost at the peak of his life.

Changsun Mingzhi was filled with emotion at this moment. He had never thought that he would be able to obtain such a precious treasure in this place of eternal sleep. This two-element and four-element array would undoubtedly be a great help in his future cultivation. He secretly made up his mind to make good use of this array to improve his strength.

While Wang Lunwo was communicating with the remnant soul in his mind, Changsun Mingzhi had already communicated with the chess soul, or should I say the chessboard soul, and put it into his storage bag. "Brother Changsun, although those Zhuge Tuotu, Nangong Lihuo, Dugu Haoshang and others are indeed a little stronger than you, you are definitely luckier than them. Just relying on the Liangyi Sixiang formation disk, you have far surpassed them." Sima Yan'er always helps Changsun Mingzhi regain his confidence at the right time.

This time, Wang Lunwo did not complain about Sima Yan'er in his heart, and also gave encouragement to his brother, "Brother Changsun, it's worth the trip to get this formation plate." "It's more than worthwhile, it's a huge reward," Sima Yan'er continued.

The three of them were in a particularly happy mood and they began to walk out of the cave.
